A asteroid is a small moving object, which is composed of dirt and ice. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet.
 Asteroid is small, inactive body, composed of rock, and made from carbon or metal, which orbiting the Sun.
A meteor is watch in this picture as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere is also called a shooting star.
A meteorite is a meteoroid that survives its  way through the Earth's atmosphere and hits the Earth's surface.
A moon is like a planet, but it is smaller and circles around a planet. Its is made by an asteriod getting taken by the gravity of a planet.
what would happen if Earth had two moons?  The tides on Earth would definitely be affected by the presence of a second moon, because the Moon is the reason why we experience tides or waves all day. If they were two moons around Earth, the affect of the tides might be smaller or larger, since the effects of each other could partially cancel out the waves or make them higher. There could also be more than two high tides per day or maybe a huge high tide that could affect the beaches and cities around. It could also change the cycle of the tides could be less regular than it is.
